You've got it exactly backwards: Morrison said that his goal for the 
Doors was to be "as big as Love," and Love's first two albums predated 
the Doors by some distance.  The first Love album came out in 1965, DA 
CAPO in 1966.

As a young teenybopper, my wife saw the Doors, twice, both times late 
in the fat drunken idiot's decline.  She says they were utterly 
pathetic.
